Abstract

Abstract Characterizing the concentration and mass flux spatial distributions at sites with complex hydrogeologic conditions is critical to evaluate the fate and transport of contaminants, as well as to design effective remediation programs. PFAS (per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances)‐contaminated sites are even more complex due to the large number of compounds and their diversity in physicochemical properties. To aid in this effort, a high‐resolution passive profiler (HRPP), previously validated for measuring sediment porewater concentrations of chlorinated solvents, groundwater velocity, and geochemical parameters at high resolution (≤20 cm) was adapted to evaluate PFAS. The study location was a shallow (
